Webinar hosted by Cabling Installation & Maintenance Sponsored by: EXFO and Electro Rent AI and hyperscale data center builds are raising the bar for high-fiber-count deployment. While the industry has focused on making execution faster, dense-fiber jobs are still slowed down by the friction surrounding the measurement itself. Setup and referencing errors, repeated cleaning, unclear failures, manual processes, and poor workflow visibility continue to drain time and confidence.  In this session, EXFO will move the conversation beyond speed specs to examine the real blockers of productivity in high-fiber-count testing—and where teams should be looking next to remove friction, reduce risk, and keep deployment momentum. Join this free webinar to discover a new approach where automation, real-time diagnostics, and integrated workflows reduce technician intervention and compress the entire certification cycle. Key takeaways: Identify the hidden sources of friction in high-fiber-count testing workflows See where time, consistency, and confidence are lost across dense-fiber job execution Learn what to prioritize next to reduce friction and keep complex builds moving efficiently Speakers : Vincent Racine, Sales Engineer, EXFO Alain Pendon, Digital Demand Generation Manager, Electro Rent Moderator : Patrick McLaughlin, Editor in Chief, Cabling Installation & Maintenance

  Webinar presented by Fibre Systems The rapid acceleration of AI workloads is reshaping how data centers are interconnected—expanding data center interconnect (DCI) use cases from campus and metro environments to regional, long-haul and subsea networks, and increasingly to scale-across AI clusters. This shift is driving new requirements across the optical layer, including higher speeds (400G, 800G, and beyond), increased fiber density, and stricter performance expectations. At the same time, optical innovation is advancing, with next-generation coherent technologies and emerging hollow core fiber and multicore fiber redefining how these demands can be met. As architectures become more distributed and complex, ensuring consistent performance across these environments is becoming a key challenge. This session explores: How DCI use cases are evolving across campus, metro, backbone and longhaul networks The impact of higher-speed optics and increasing fiber counts on network design and deployment The role of emerging optical technologies in shaping next-generation interconnects How to validate and qualify both existing and newly deployed fiber infrastructure for AI-driven demands The importance of automated, scalable test and validation approaches to accelerate deployment and improve operational efficiency Watch this webinar to gain practical insight into how to ensure performance, reliability, and readiness across increasingly complex DCI environments.
